Hi, there. I'm new to Silverstripe and am trying to get used to it. I have successfully installed the User Defined Forms module and it appears in my Contact page editing area since I defined that page as a User Defined Form. However, when I try to add a form field and hit "Add", I get a blank page. Any ideas why this might be happening? Do you need my server specs?

UPDATE: I tried using this module in Opera and it did let me Add the form fields and I could see the message "saved" at the lower left of the screen. I then published the page and still nothing. In Opera, it goes one better than Firefox, by allowing me to add fields, But where are they going? There's something preventing the form fields from appearing, either to be edited or displayed on the published page. Surely this isn't a browser issue. I am thinking it's a server issue, but what?

Are you using the latest version of SS and userforms? You might also want to try the 'trunk' or 'daily build' of userforms. You can find this second download link on the userforms module page on the right hand side. After you download and install the trunk version run dev/build and reload the admin with ?flush=1 and see if you can add from then

UDF is working well here, and I have a lot of different forms working together nicely. Just a shot in the dark (Iâ€™ve seen several similar posts recently): ensure that your UDF folder is called â€˜userformsâ€™ or the needed JS wonâ€™t load.

OMG, Juan, I LOVE you. That was IT! Problem solved. Incidentally, the documentation for some of these modules is abysmal. Here's the exact readme file from UDF:

"Installation Instructions
-----------------------------------------------
Extract the userforms folder into the top level of your site, and visithttp://www.mysite.com/dev/build to rebuild the database."

Not once did it mention renaming the folder from its default "userforms-v.0.2.0"

Thanks bunches!!! ::kiss::

P.S. Guess I should rename all my module folders to strip out versioning?

The readme file is indeed not clear enough, even if it says â€œextract the userforms folderâ€¦â€ (maybe something to improve, Will). Nevertheless, should you have opened the _config.php file, you would have find the solution in seconds. It is always a good idea to look into those files: youâ€™ll always learn something about how modules work (and yes, remove version of the names of all modules you could have installed).
